Senior High XC

Happy Holidays everyone! Gina McQueen's class has been a hit! PLEASE consider joining us if you haven't already -- We are getting over $250 worth of fitness classes and training for just $15 each! It's been a ton of fun and Gina is great! Here's an update from her for those of you wanting to participate in this next session:

New session for off season training has started ($15). Below are the dates we will meet, there is a holiday break.December 17th & 20thJanuary 7, 9, 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, & 30th.Moving forward please shoot out a quick text 406-696-7187 if you WILL NOT be there on a specific night. It helps me better plan workouts if I know how many will attend. Thank you, it's been a lot of fun so far....keep up the hard work! PS: WE ARE STILL MISSING TONS OF UNIFORMS :(

If anyone wants to run the USATF State Championship 5K on Saturday in Helena, let me know. There are some runners from Billings going and it should be a great race. It would be a great tune-up for Nike or just one more opportunity to crush a PR while you're still in shape :)

Another season for the record books! We are so proud of everyone. Please remember our End of the Season Celebration is this evening at 7pm in the BSH cafeteria. We really hope you all will join us!

Parents...a quick note from Mamie: Hello everyone!Wow! What a fantastic season. Thank you all so much for all that you have done for our team this year!We will be having our final activity this Thursday at 7:00pm in the school cafeteria. The whole family is invited to come have some ice cream and celebrate the hard work these athletes have put in this season. A few of you have offered to help set up and serve Thursday evening, I’ll be at the school at 6:00 to begin decorating and set-up. Thank you and see you Thursday!

And from Mamie this week: Hello everyone!We have a busy week ahead of us. We have an impromptu team dinner Wednesday after practice at the Starkey house (2430 Lydia Lane). We have the City Meet Thursday at Riverfront Park. This is the last JV meet of the season. The coaches have asked for donations of firewood for the large fireplace at the shelter to help keep everyone warm. If you have some you would be willing to donate please let me know! We will have an awards ice cream banquet the Thursday after the state meet (Oct. 25) to celebrate our athletes. If anyone is available to help decorate, set-up, serve, or clean-up please let me know. This is a super fun time for our team and families.

The weather looks AWFUL and we'll be in the elements ALL day... pack for the worst weather ever with lots of extras of everything and you'll be fine :)

We'll provide a meal after the races are over but please pack a healthy breakfast (carbs and protein) and healthy snacks for the day. Also water and maybe even a thermos with hot tea to warm up with throughout the day.
